CRAFT BEER MARKET Kichijoji Penny Lane Store Adds VECTOR BREWING and Shonan Beer on Tap
CRAFT BEER MARKET Kichijoji Penny Lane Store announced its new tap beers in an Instagram post on April 6. VECTOR BREWING's "Black Cat Punch" and Shonan Beer's "Sticky Fingaz Hazy IPA" were introduced, fitting the shop’s style of offering 30 rotating craft beers and homemade gyoza.
Hop BroTwo new beers have landed at CRAFT BEER MARKET Penny Lane in Kichijoji: VECTOR BREWING's "Black Cat Punch" and Shonan Beer's "Sticky Fingaz Hazy IPA." That lineup is already fun.
MugiWhoa! "Black Cat Punch" sounds cute, but it also sounds like it hits hard! Is the cat punching people?!
Hop BroThat’s the charm of it. The strong, distinctive name hooks you, and then you get curious about the flavor too. In the post, staff member Ryosuke introduced these two beers on April 6.
MugiOhhh! So what exactly is a Hazy IPA? I only have this vague image of something cloudy!
Hop BroGood question. Think of it as an IPA that emphasizes haze and aroma. The hop aroma tends to come forward, and you get juiciness along with the bitterness.
MugiReally? Then "Sticky Fingaz Hazy IPA" sounds like it’ll burst with hop aroma, which is super exciting!
Hop BroThat read is pretty much right. This pairing combines a Hazy IPA that should deliver plenty of hop character with a beer whose name alone suggests a lot of personality, so it should click with both casual drinkers and people who want to chase flavor.
MugiAnd this place isn’t just a beer bar, huh! Thirty rotating beers and homemade gyoza too? Isn’t that kind of over the top?
Hop BroExactly. With more than six kinds of gyoza and even four kinds of spice curry, it’s strong because it doesn’t stop at beer alone. On weekdays it opens from 12:00 for lunch, and on weekends and holidays it’s open from 11:00 to 23:00, which is great too.
MugiIf you’re looking for your first drink in Kichijoji, this feels like an obvious first choice! Hey Hop, this basically means we have to go drink with gyoza, right?
Hop BroAbsolutely. If you sip Black Cat Punch in one hand, follow the aroma with Sticky Fingaz Hazy IPA, and snack on gyoza, that’s basically the perfect Kichijoji night.
